[TRNSYS-users] Iterative feedback controller (Type 22)




Dear TRNSYS users,

 

I am trying to simulate a flat plate solar collector. I want to:

 

(1) Let the pump run when solar radiation is higher than specific number and

(2) Set the output temperature at 85 °C.

 

 Type 540 can simulate the collector for constant output temperature but there is no control signal in its input for the other purpose.

 

I think that I should use

·         type 1 instead of type 540 for solar collector and a variable speed pump (type 3)

·         a differential controller (type 2d) and  an iterative feedback controller (type 22)

 

I don’t understand how I should connect the inputs and outputs of controllers to the variables of pump and collector.

 

I really appreciate it if someone gives me a clue.

 

Regards,
